Rather than asserting that no value has previously been set, free any previously set value array before unpacking the new one. Fixes samtools#813. (This free() is all that's left after duplicating the "Mark the tag for removal, free existing memory if necessary" code from earlier in each function, and removing assignments that are unnecessary due to the immediately following bcf_unpack_info/fmt_core1() call.) Add test cases that update to small, large, and finally middle-sized values, so that both reallocation and reuse are exercised.

Looks like #813 dropped off our radar slightly. Thanks for fixing it. |

Thanks for this fix. I’ve been too busy to get to it. Any idea when the next release is scheduled? |

I needed this for something else, hence… Rather than asserting that no value has previously been set, free any previously set value array before unpacking the new one. Fixes #813.
